This is a non-figurative abstract painting I did a few weeks ago. I haven't abandoned abstract painting, the non-figurative kind, I am just waiting for some inspiration and ideas.

I have been painting large and mainly landscapes and trees lately, so don't have much to mix up my posts with. I have a few paintings with other themes, but I wanted to show this one first, a favorite of mine. I like the playfulness and composition of this one.

Tree Abstraction 57

This is a small painting with focus on composition, simplicity, colors and contrasts. These small paintings really challenge me, and that can be a good thing.

Landscape Abstraction 1

This little abstract landscape painting inspired me to push the colors in a series of paintings. Have had a lot of fun with it.

There is a little fun story attached to this painting. It started out as a hit and miss painting, that I almost scrapped. I liked the left part, but the right part really sucked. I putted it aside and gave it a rest, not sure what to do, I really liked the left side. The day after, I decided to rework the right side, being bold and I think it worked out very well.

This one has all the elements of an Iris flower, but simplified.

This is one of my abstract paintings that I did earlier. It is non-figurative, but I must confess that it is hard to not get associations when painting these.

I have done this kind of color combinations on larger tree abstraction paintings, but this is the first one that is small. I love these limited color palettes.

SOLD

This is another small tree painting, slightly more abstract than the one I posted a few days ago. I was able to transfer some of the elements from my larger paintings into this one. I am starting to enjoy painting small landscapes.

This is a new large painting. I got the reference photo from my father, I have put him on photo duty and he does an excellent work. To be honest, he is in better shape than me and he is 83 years old.
I usually pick only part of a reference photo, the feeling, some details, the colors etc. I don't pay much notice to the trees, which might be odd. I might take some placement suggestions from the photo though.

Not the best photograph, but I took it to show the size compared to a 6" x 6" painting.

One more flower painting that is loosely based on the Iris flower, but an early one, before  I took it all the way with details. I like the soft value changes between the blues and purples.

I have no idea why this abstract painting feels like something. It is cute, cartoon-like and fun. It puts a smile on my face.

Not sure why I painted this one. I guess I wanted to test my limits and see how small I could paint with my line based style. I can't say that I could put a lot of flair into it, but it didn't turn out that bad.

I confess that I don't take a lot of time, figuring out smart and interesting names for my paintings, should I? I just pick names that gives an indication what it is.
I pushed the colors in this one, made a colorful wash first and then took it from there.

A matter of size...

The difficult thing about pictures of paintings on Internet is to show size. The best way to show size is to see the painting, experience the painting. The next best thing is to compare it with something. Thought I would compare my largest paintings size with my smallest one (6" x 6").
